3 WWE fans who became famous overnight
Ever since pro-wrestling came into existence, there has been one crucial factor that has helped it become the global phenomenon that it is today.
That factor is the wrestling fans. They are the ones that make or break a superstar. They spend their hard earned dollars to visit weekly shows and watch the action unfold inside the squared circle. One of the most embarrassing things as a wrestler can be to wrestle a match in an almost empty arena, or even worse, an arena full of disinterested fans.
Although most of the time, the WWE cameramen focus on the action going on inside the ring, they will sometimes turn the camera towards the WWE Universe to get their reactions.
There have been multiple instances in the past where these cameras have caught a WWE fan at the exact moment they were heavily invested in the in-ring action. With the weekly shows being watch by millions of fans worldwide, it's common for a unique fan reaction to get noticed and shared on social media by thousands of people. Here are three instances when WWE fans achieved fame overnight, becoming hot topics of discussion on social media and wrestling forums.
#3 Brock Lesnar Guy (Michael Corcoran)
A lifelong wrestling fan, Corcoran became an internet sensation on the Raw after WrestleMania 28, when Brock Lesnar made his long-awaited return to confront John Cena.
As soon as Lesnar's music hit, the sea of fans roared in unison, in one of the biggest pops of the modern era. This guy stood out in the crowd though. As Lesnar appeared on the ramp, he did his signature pose that fans hadn't seen in 8 years. The camera quickly turned to Brock Lesnar Guy, who passionately imitated the beast's thunderous pose.
Almost instantly, social media began flooding with this particular image and it didn't take much time for him to become a famous meme, even getting featured on the meme database, KnowYourMeme.
Eventually, his popularity wore off and today, he consistently gets berated and ridiculed on wrestling forums for being one of the most obnoxious fans that have been in existence.
